Greetings Troop 380 Scouts, Leaders, and Families,
We have NO troop meetings July 7 or July 14 due to Summer Camp and preparations; the next troop meeting is July 21.
Here is information on other upcoming troop events:
Trailer Load and Clean-up – TOMORROW
In place of the troop meeting tomorrow, we will be prepping for summer camp and cleaning up the canoes. Many hands make light work. Please come help if you’re able to!
- Monday July 7 5:30 PM

Trading Post and Summer Camp: If you have made a last minute purchase for items from the Troop 380 Trading Post for Summer Camp items such as t-shirts, etc., please make them by Sunday night. Neil Ishikawa will be at Nyecon on Monday night as our Troop Meeting is cancelled. Please arrive by 7:00 PM to pick up items. Better yet, be there early to help us load the trailer for camp, or help with the canoe trailer. We will start around 5:30 PM.
